Billionaire BS: How can Britain Stop Musk’s Disinformation?

In This Episode

Happy New Year – is 2025 going to be the year of disinformation? Elon Musk started in attack mode with a flood of vitriolic and false tweets about UK grooming gangs. In Musk’s crosshairs: Keir Starmer and safeguarding minister Jess Phillips. He accused them both of cover ups. Can Nish and Coco survive a year of Musk madness – the man who already makes Nish want to “eat his own anus”?

 

We’re joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald to discuss how to fight the disinformation invasion and what else might be in store in 2025 – from Reform eating the Tories to Labour delivering some much-needed change. And just when we thought we were done with billionaire BS – Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta is scrapping its fact-checking service and Andrew Tate launched a new political party.

 

And poor Nish is under fire from GB News for “unnecessary political swipes”on the BBC. A word to GB News – unnecessary political swipes is what Nish does! Brace yourselves – it’s a wild first show back.
